Urges president Buhari to continue with Prof. Quaker

A renowned Ijaw group under the auspices of Save Ijaw Nation, SIN has passed a vote of confidence on the coordinator of the presidential amnesty programme, PAP, Prof. Charles Q. Dokubo on what they described as “a leadership in the right direction”.
The group made the disclosure in an open letter sent to the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and Commander-In- Chief of the Armed Forces, president Muhammadu Buhari dated June 22nd 2019.
According to the letter signed by the national leadership of SIN, Comr. Erekedoumene Yangaboy as its convener and Comr. Seikorowei Bishop Lamien, secretary general, a copy of which was made available to The Liberator Newspaper, the group had told president Buhari to give deaf ear to those going against Prof. Dokubo, stressing that the current amnesty boss remains one of the best things that had ever happened to the Niger Delta region in recent times.
SIN had particularly urged president Buhari to continue with Dokubo as the amnesty boss, stating that the coordinator is a rare leader in the Niger Delta region.
The group had insisted that the emergence of Dokubo as the amnesty boss had brought about unprecedented peace in the region, noting that stipends for the ex-agitors are paid promptly and contractors are also taken care of.
The letter read in full bellow:
Dear President Muhammadu Buhari,
OPEN LETTER TO YOUR EXCELLENCY ON THE NEED TO SUSTAIN THE RELATIVE PEACE AND THE GROWING HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE NIGER DELTA AND A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON PROF. CHARLES QUAKER-DOKUBO, COORDINATOR OF THE PRESIDENTIAL AMNESTY PROGRAMME
The Save Ijaw Nation (SIN) group comprising of thousands of educated and nonviolent Ijaw youths spread across the Niger Delta region is dedicated to campaigning for development, peace, justice and a corruption free Ijaw community, write to commend and also appreciate Your Excellency once again on the appointment of Prof. Charles Quaker-Dokubo as Special Adviser on Niger Delta Affairs and Coordinator of the Presidential Amnesty Programme.
It may interest Your Excellency to know that, since the appointment of Prof. Charles Dokubo to coordinate the highly strategic and national economy, development and peace sustaining office due to his highly admirable and sterling academic and leadership qualities and your disposition to work with qualified and incorruptible people in changing the Niger Delta story, the once near national disaster tagged Presidential Amnesty Programme have been miraculously rescued and both the Nigerian State and the Niger Delta region have started enjoying the true purpose of its establishment.
Your Excellency is aware of the enormous challenges that were associated with the very strategic Presidential Amnesty Office especially complaints about non-payments of Stipends to Beneficiaries that often lead to protests, non-payments of Vendors, Contractors, the issue of non-mobilization and training of ex-Agitators, the daily vandalisation of oil facilities, sabotage of Crude oil operations in the region and the many other unpleasant tales and news about the Presidential Amnesty Programme and the Niger Delta. However, Prof. Charles Quaker-Dokubo being Your Excellency’s faithful disciple in vision and performance have changed the narrative, built institutions, completed and commissioned projects started by his predecessors, initiated programmes, strengthened and further structured the PAP strategically to include the economic and developmental interests of the ordinary Niger Deltans.
After our investigation into the dealings of the Presidential Amnesty Programme, on the premise of the ongoing media scrutiny and persecution, the SAVE IJAW NATION group have realized that those that have initially privatised and are still claiming sole ownership of the programme are not happy with the accommodation of thousands of other Niger Deltan youths and the dedicated and incorruptible leadership style of the Coordinator, hence, have degenerated to the Shakespearean character “Cassius” by conspiring to frustrate Prof Dokubo’s efforts and by extension thwart your Excellency’s plan for the Niger Delta through media trial and blackmail.
At this point in time, it becomes pertinent we bring to Your Excellency’s notice, the one very important achievement of Professor Charles Quaker-Dokubo, which happened to be the relative peace enjoyed in the Niger Delta that has helped to stabilize crude oil and gas production. We believe this achievement would not be carpeted owing to the fact that, the Nigerian government under your capable hands enjoy most from it. This was made possible due to the coordinator’s all inclusive leadership style and we pray, this sterling qualities be sustained.
Conclusively, we thank Your Excellency once again for finding him worthy for this herculean task and responsibility, we also use this rare opportunity to pass A VOTE OF CONFIDENCE ON PROF. CHARLES QUAKER- DOKUBO and his outstanding Team. It is our fervent prayer and humble appeal that Your Excellency will graciously extend his tenure in office so that he will continue to consolidate on his very remarkable works and achievements which has translated to a lot of goodwill to the federal government under your able stewardship.
It is also our humble desire that Your Excellency will give this letter the needed urgent attention it deserves, while reassuring Your Excellency of our maximum support.
Yours in the struggle,
COMRADE YANGABOY EREKEDOUMENE
Convener.
COMRADE SEIKOROWEI BISHOP LAMIEN
Secretary General
